Discusses the depth amongst conventionally built structures in which embodies our cities as a whole- “the home which the core in charged with meaning involved with most personal aspects of our lives” (Ballantyne. A). He further discusses the idea of home that which is not of any material or form but a feeling projected from familiarity and belonging. A home is which does everything to and for us- protecting, witnessing the best and worst times, and fulfill our spiritual needs. Evident in buildings as suggested by Ballantyne, businesses are shaping their hotel scope around the world into common characteristics to blend one’s familiarity to feel homely. Home is what shapes a person’s comfort level through society's ideal of "norm", but when forced to change into a new society, different levels of freedom challenges one's familiarity of "home. Many are aware that society shapes and bounds the perception of norm for its people, forgetting its context and cultural heritage, the idea of home should base of its people as a whole and not by science or art, but the both. Therefore it is justified by Ballantyne that "Architects’ role is to design not only a building with practical utility but also with an eye to their cultural value."Finally, “Building have meaning’s intent” is to acknowledge that “Architects build what is thought to be most home over and over to develop cities that feels most culturally close to people, As buildings blends with building to create norm and same level of freedom”- Ballantyne. ____________________________________________________________

of Conflicts as Property
By: Trace O'Connor

Introduction
The article I will be critically summarizing is “Conflict as Property”. It is an influential article written by the criminologist Nils Christie in the late 1970s. Throughout the entire article Christie argues “criminology to some extent has amplified a process where conflicts have been taken away from the parties directly involved and thereby have either disappeared or become other peoples property”1 This statement is what I have found to be Christies thesis in which all of his points refer back to.
Christies Argument
Throughout the article Christie reflects on why he believes the conflict between two parties, the victim and defendant has been “stolen” by the authorities, the state, and by professionals.
Christie said that not only does the victim loose his or her say in the proceedings but is relatively thrown out of the case in which it becomes between one party and the state. He found this unsatisfying and argued that it should be given back to the initial parties involved, the victim, the defendant and the neighborhood.
He says when a conflict is created that we are less capable to take on the situation and are more likely to hand it off to some one else. This is where there is a lineup of professionals willing to take the conflict from us and we are just as willing to give it away.
Christie explains his notion of “conflict as...

...CriticalSummary: Monster’s Ball
Hollywood movie, Monster’s Ball, condemns females into the darkest pit of degradation. It cleverly takes on a noble disguise where it attempts to teach viewers about morality and life lessons; however, it dismisses the issue of equality between gender differences that is yet to be questioned in our society’s popular culture. On the glorifying surface, Monster’s Ball tells a moving tale of a white, racist man, Hank, who eventually learns to discard his hatred and prejudice for Black people as he finds himself falling in love with a Black woman, Leticia. The story revolves around the persistence to overcome the obstacles facing racism while unfolding and discovering redemption through hope and the ability to put one’s differences aside. It shows that interracial relationships are possible, and the story ends powerfully with the universal idea that ‘love conquers all’ – the ideology of romantic love in which “love is the ultimate solution to all our problems” (Storey, 104) when Leticia chooses to stay with Hank. However, one can imagine the rage and shock of feminists and females alike when one unfolds the underlying message of the movie; underneath this polished layer of a journey to discover hope, peace, and love, lies an ugly scheme of stereotyping that focuses heavily on women. Not only does Monster’s Ball portray women as weak, passive and lonely souls who thirst for nothing but a man’s care and nurture, it...

...The Ultimate Rajasic
Christians of today are often firm believers in the idea of Armageddon. The very idea of a battle wherein they must face friends, family, and strangers divided on moral basis instills fear in some, and joy in others. How is this possible? Luckily, Christianity isn’t the only religion to face such a predicament or idea. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the Hindu sacred texts following the epic Mahabharata. The story told is of the torn hero Arjuna as he faces this very predicament and can answer that question. Krishna teaches him of the battle between good and evil, the secret of life, the secret of wisdom, and expounds the mysteries of divinity. Throughout his explanation, the nature of man and their ways of approaching dilemmas such as that of Armageddon are expounded. In this paper I will discuss these lessons and explain the attributes produced in relation to each one and how they seem to adversely affect believers of the religion.
Before Arjuna can be taught, there must be an understanding of the opposing sides, good and evil, and which side he fights for. As the story begins, Arjuna faces an army made of his cousins and countrymen preparing to battle for the throne. Arjuna aims to restore traditional values and battle his cousin in defense of his brother who should be the next to inherent the throne. As he passes the troops, he is torn by the idea of killing his kin. Looking for comfort, he turns to his charioteer and begs for advice. It is here...

... Carl Rogers is an American humanistic psychologist. He enrolled in agriculture at the University of Wisconsin but switched to history. Rogers completed his PhD in psychology at the University of Columbia and spent twelve years as a clinical psychologist (Crowne, 2009). He wrote a book titled The Clinical Treatment of the Problem Child. He was president of the American Psychological Association and received its Distinguished Scientific Contribution award. Rogers became an eminent figure in psychology from his proposed theory called the person-centered theory.
Person-centered theory puts its main emphases on humanistic values and respect for the individual. So much emphases that critics could say humanistic theories are visibly bias towards individualistic values. Arguably, the person-centered therapy has been proven to have moderate effectiveness and is widely used. The theory suggests we need to look at human beings as a totality and treat them as a whole. Rogers designated the word ‘organisms’ for individuals and suggested it tied to the notion of self-actualization assumption that is made up from various components that work together, like the human body is made up of different organs. Whole is seen more of a goal and a lifelong process. Even though Rogerian theory has exploded into numerous extensions, such as the fully functioning person, interpersonal relations, family life, education, group leadership, and conflict, I will be focusing on the...

...﻿Summary: Act I, scene i
Antonio, a Venetian merchant, complains to his friends, Salarino and Solanio, that a sadness has overtaken him and dulled his faculties, although he is at a loss to explain why. Salarino and Solanio suggest that his sadness must be due to his commercial investments, for Antonio has dispatched several trade ships to various ports. Salarino says it is impossible for Antonio not to feel sad at the thought of the perilous ocean sinking his entire investment, but Antonio assures his friends that his business ventures do not depend on the safe passage of any one ship. Solanio then declares that Antonio must be in love, but Antonio dismisses the suggestion.
The three men encounter Bassanio, Antonio’s kinsman, walking with two friends named Lorenzo and Gratiano. Salarino and Solanio bid Antonio farewell and depart. When Gratiano notices Antonio’s unhappiness and suggests that the merchant worries too much about business, Antonio responds that he is but a player on a stage, destined to play a sad part. Gratiano warns Antonio against becoming the type of man who affects a solemn demeanor in order to gain a wise reputation, then he takes his leave with Lorenzo. Bassanio jokes that Gratiano has terribly little to say, claiming that his friend’s wise remarks prove as elusive as “two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff” (I.i.115–116). Antonio asks Bassanio to tell him about the clandestine love that Bassanio is harboring. In reply, Bassanio...
